La dolce vita

[clevermanka]

Yesterday was a good art day. Today is going to be a good drinking day. Tomorrow I have a make-up acupuncture appointment.

My delts and pecs are a little sore from yesterday's punching. I plan to loosen them up with moar punching today (which will, I hope, not re-open the scab on my right hand).

I read my email, f-list, and a very nice due South story while drinking a cup of coffee. Coffee.

One thing I am not going to think about is the fact that mckitterick bought me an iPod as an early xmas present, and I spent two hours yesterday trying to rip a CD to it. What I am doing wrong, I cannot fathom (well, besides my first error in purchasing an Apple product). I even tried some alternative software (Songbird). No go. But not even Apple products can bring me down today.

Today is a happy mood day.

Life is good.

what kind of iPod? are you using iTunes on your computer?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

It's an iPod classic. Touch screens and I don't really get along, and since the Classic one didn't come with all the bells and whistles, it was by far the best option.

I'd rather not use iTunes if I can avoid it. When I installed it, it took me to the iTunes website, which demanded a credit card number. I have no plans to purchase anything from iTunes, and even if I did, I'd give them my number then. Not now.

So, yeah. I'm trying to find alternate music management software.

iTunes just came with my Mac so....some kind of management software is probably necessary? With mine I put my music on my computer, and from there transfer it to my iPod. I've never heard of transferring the music directly to the iPod....surely there must be some FreeWare out there?

Yes, management software is necessary. There is freeware out there, but the first one I tried kept freezing up. Going to try something called Mediamonkey next, on the suggestion of an acquaintance, but not today.

Today is more art, more punching, and afternoon drinkies.
